It comes as the UK prepares for its fourth bout of summer hot weather this weekend.
Joe Andrew was visiting the supermarket with his children Summer, 11, William, six, and four-year-old Jack, when he came across the confectionary.
He photographed boxes of Smarties, Milkybars, and Fruit Pastilles that all had yuletide imagery on them.
The Chrimbo-themed treats were part of a display stand at the end of an aisle in a Morrisons in Lichfield, Staffordshire, on Tuesday, August 5.
The perfect gift
Prices for the festive Milkybar treats are on sale in various outlets from £2.15 per 80g packet to £23.99 for a pack of 15 x 80g packets.
They are being marketed as "deliciously creamy Milkybar white chocolate buttons".
The product statement adds: "With no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, it's a gift you can feel happy to give!"
They are also suitable for vegetarians.
Co-op also has the product listed although it is currently unavailable in stores.
The Co-op product states: "This festive giant tube contains great creamy tasting, smooth white chocolate Milkybar buttons, perfect for gifting or sharing with friends and family in the run up to Christmas.
"With no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Milkybar still maintains strong milk credentials today and its simple, uncomplicated recipe is loved by everyone."
Milk product
Milkybar was created in 1937 as a non-vitaminized variant of Nestlé's new pharmaceutical milk product, when the company almost exclusively manufactured milk products.
Such sterile milk products were trusted by parents to help their children's development without the bacterial risks of fresh milk.
Even though it didn't contain vitamins, Milkybar was still designed to offer the goodness of milk.
The arrival of the festive Milkybar tube comes just days after a brand new Nestle flavour hit the shelves.
The Swiss confectionery giant's new Milkybar features a vanilla-flavoured biscuit centre and a milk chocolate base and was spotted in Poundland for just £1.50.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M's scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you'll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
